It is actually quite smooth. It has a light recoil for a .45. Lighter than my buddie's Glock 30. I got some good decent groupings at the range for not being used to it.

Hk's are overpriced because they cater more to military/law enforcement rather than the civilian buyers. That is were they make their money, from what I have read.

The sizes between the .40 and .45 are very comparable. Check the specs on this site:

Also, there is a link on that page of a USP being fired. I'm not sure what caliber it is though.

The most important thing to consider is how it feels in your hand. The .45 feels very natural to me.
